1. Helen of Troy was the most beautiful woman in the world..

2. • Some myths say that Helen's
mother was Leda, the wife of King
Tyndareus of Sparta. Others name
Nemesis, the goddess of revenge,
as her mother. Helen had a
sister Clytemnestra, who later
became the wife of King
Agamemnon of Mycenae, and
twin brothers Castor and Pollux,
known as the Dioscuri.

3. Stories claiming Leda as Helen's mother tell how Zeus
disguised himself as a swan and raped the Spartan queen.
Leda then produced two eggs. From one came Helen and
her brother Pollux. Clytemnestra and Castor emerged from
the other. Other versions of the myth say that Zeus seduced
Nemesis, and she laid the two eggs. A shepherd discovered
them and gave them to Queen Leda, who tended the eggs
until they hatched and raised the children as her own. In
some variations of this legend, Helen and Pollux were the
children of Zeus, but Clytemnestra and Castor were actually
the children of Tyndareus.
When Helen was only 12 years old, the Greek hero
Theseus kidnapped her and planned to make her
his wife. He took her to Attica in Greece and locked
her away under the care of his mother. Helen's
brothers Castor and Pollux rescued her while
Theseus was away and brought her back to Sparta.
According to some stories, before Helen left Attica,
she had given birth to a daughter named Iphigenia.

4. Some time after Helen returned to
Sparta, King Tyndareus decided that it
was time for her to marry. Suitors came
from all over Greece, hoping to win the
famous beauty. Many were powerful
leaders. Tyndareus worried that
choosing one suitor might anger the
others, who could cause trouble for his
kingdom

8. For a while, Helen and Menelaus lived happily together. They
had a daughter and son, and Menelaus eventually became the
king of Sparta. But their life together came to a sudden end.

9. advice of the goddess Aphrodite*. She had
promised him the most beautiful woman in the
world after he proclaimed her the "fairest"
goddess. When Paris saw Helen, he knew that
Aphrodite had kept her promise. While Menelaus
was away in Crete, Paris took Helen back to Troy.
Some stories say Helen went willingly, seduced
by Paris's charms. Others claim that Paris
kidnapped her and took her by force.
When Menelaus returned home and discovered Helen
gone, he called on the leaders of Greece, who had
sworn to support him if necessary. The Greeks
organized a great expedition and set sail for Troy. Their
arrival at Troy marked the beginning of the Trojan War.
During the war, Helen's sympathies were divided. At
times, she helped the Trojans by pointing out Greek
leaders. At other times, however, she sympathized with

10. Helen had a number of children by Paris, but none survived infancy. Paris died in the Trojan War, and Helen married his
brother Deiphobus. After the Greeks won the war, she was reunited with Menelaus, and she helped him kill Deiphobus.
Then Helen and Menelaus set sail for Sparta.

11. The couple arrived in Sparta after a journey
of several years. Some stories say that the
gods, angry at the trouble Helen had caused,
sent storms to drive their ships off course to
Egypt and other lands bordering the
Mediterranean Sea. When they finally arrived
in Sparta, the couple lived happily, although
by some accounts, Menelaus remained
suspicious of Helen's feelings and loyalty.

12. Many stories say that Helen
remained in Sparta until her
death. But others say that
she went to the island
of Rhodes after Menelaus
died, perhaps driven from
Sparta by their son
Nicostratus. At first she was
given refuge on Rhodes by
Polyxo, the widow of
Tlepolemus, one of the
Greek leaders who had died
in the Trojan War. Later,
however, Polyxo had Helen
hanged to avenge the death
of her husband. One very
different version of Helen's
story claims that the gods
sent an effigy, or dummy, of
Helen to Troy but that she
actually spent the war years
in Egypt.
